“Come Unto Me”


Read: Matthew 11:28-30

Hello Friend!
Have you ever found yourself at a point when it’s hard to pray or believe? Have you ever gotten so distracted with your worries that you forgot that God still answers prayers? May we never forget how powerful our God is and May our faith in Him never wax cold. I hope this piece inspires you:

He paced around the wide corridor 
Worry and fear engulfed his mind
He watched people come in and go out
But all he could think was “how?”

How will it happen? 
How can she survive?
How can we scale through this?
How will things be normal again?

He stood for a while
Looked up at the ceiling
All white and blank
No answers


He sat back on the chair 

Looked at the floor 

Just cement and sand

No answers 


Nothing seemed to bring hope 
The doctors all looked sad and gloomy 
What was going to be the end of this?
Would she survive?

I can’t lose her
She’s all I’ve got 
I’ve tried everything 
I’ve done everything I can


“But have you prayed?”

“Don’t you believe in me anymore?”

He heard this calm voice in his ears

And felt a cold hand on his shoulders 


Turned around but saw no one
He cried out, “God is that You?”
But He did not hear anything again
“God please forgive my ignorance!”

“Forgive me for not trusting enough”

“I believe in You, God!”

Then He heard the calm voice again,
“Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest.”

“I put my worries in Your care, Lord”
“Please help me, I can’t help her”
He felt the burden leave his shoulders 
He pictured his wife’s face smiling 
He saw the doctors congratulating him

"The surgery was successful”

He began to cry in joy 

He lifted up his voice and cried out

“God, You still do miracles!”


Prayer 
Dear God, thank you for the assurance that You are more than able to help me. May I always trust in You and keep growing in faith.

What type of Christian are you?

Sister Rose was stopped at the gate of heaven, and confusion filled her face. “What is going on here?” she asked. “My name is Sister Rose Agatha, the General Choir Director of the Association of Christian Choristers in my country. What do you mean I’m not qualified to enter?” The angel looked at her calmly. “I’m sorry, ma, but the gate has been shut against you. Many are called, but few are chosen” (Matthew 22:14). She felt offended. “Sir, with all due respect, you must be mistaking me for someone else. I served God all the years of my life on earth. Do you know how many choir groups I headed? How many crusades I was invited to? I was very popular.” “The Kingdom of God is not about popularity,” the angel replied. “What quality of service did you render to God? Was it for His glory or to please men? Remember, ‘For we must all stand before Christ to be judged… each of us will receive whatever we deserve for the good or evil we have done in this earthly body’” (2 Corinthians 5:10). “An...

Drifting Away (Part 1)

Chidi was known as a devoted brother—quiet, disciplined, and deeply committed to God. He was one of those people whose life seemed to reflect his faith effortlessly. In his church, he served faithfully in the choir, never missing rehearsals, always present, always focused. People admired him, not just for his voice, but for his consistency. Outside church, Chidi worked as an operations assistant in a fast-growing fintech firm. He was diligent, respectful, and serious about his job. His life seemed steady—until things began to change. One morning, news spread across the office that their boss had resigned. A new manager was appointed—a confident, well-spoken woman. She was married, but from the moment she met Chidi, something about him caught her attention. At first, it was subtle. “Chidi, can you stay back for a few minutes after work? I’d like to go over something with you,” she said one evening. Chidi nodded politely. “Yes ma.” But the “work discussions” soon ...

The beauty of God’s mercy

  God’s mercy is  one of the most beautiful expressions of His love toward us. It is constant, undeserved, and always available—no matter our past or present. The Bible reminds us that “The faithful love of the Lord never ends! His mercies never cease. Great is His faithfulness; His mercies begin afresh each morning” (Lamentations 3:22–23 NLT). Every new day is proof that God has not given up on us. His mercy is not limited or conditional. “The Lord is merciful and compassionate, slow to get angry and filled with unfailing love” (Psalm 103:8 NLT). Even when we fall short, He responds with patience and kindness rather than judgment. God’s mercy reaches into every area of our lives. “Let us come boldly to the throne of our gracious God. There we will receive His mercy, and we will find grace to help us when we need it most” (Hebrews 4:16 NLT). In our moments of weakness, confusion, or need, His mercy is always within reach. It is also through His mercy that we are saved and sust...
